For decades, protein engineering has been utilized to modify natural proteins and enzymes to meet the needs of different industrial applications. It is therefore a powerful tool in synthetic biology through the altering of protein properties to tailor protein “parts” to suit the requirements of any particular synthetic metabolic pathway to express proteins.

This is a collection of multiple choice questions on five subtopics: Cell Membrane, Nucleus, Organelles, Protein Synthesis and Cell Cycle. Question answers are provided in a separate section after each bank of subtopic questions.

This is a collection of multiple choice, short answer, and true/false questions on DNA, gene expression, and mutations. Topics covered include the structure of DNA, gene expression, transcription, translation, and mutations (point, chromosomal aberrations). These questions are suitable for students enrolled in General Biology or Principles of Biology.

This is a collection of multiple choice and true/false questions on protein synthesis. Topics covered include an overview of protein synthesis, transcription and translation. These questions are suitable for students enrolled in Human Anatomy and Physiology II or Advanced Anatomy and Physiology.
